Form & Verdict
Two sprint wins last summer, including over 6f here (soft); solid efforts in four of his five runs this season and was only beaten around 2l when he raced alone on far side at Windsor (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; now goes back up in trip and he's in the mix on this drop back in grade.

9st 10lb

J: Chloe Lyons

T: Stuart Williams

He'd been headed when badly hampered at Newbury recently (not recover) but was without his usual visor, in which he was running really well in defeat previously under Chloe Lyons at up to 5.2f; he should be fine at this trip; the visor returns and he could bounce back with a big run.

Three good turf runs to his name this summer, all for today's apprentice Chloe Lyons and including C&D; no obvious reason why he wouldn't go well once again.

J: Chloe Lyons

Handy sort whose record here reads 131; has run well in both starts under Chloe Lyons since returning to turf last month, going down by just a neck at Newbury (5f, good to firm) eight days ago; respected off the same mark.

Form & Verdict
Resurgent 8yo who handles most ground and has form figures of 23121 since the end of March; up another 5lb but he put in a dominant display over C&D (good to soft) last time and remains well handicapped on old form; big player again in his bid for a 12th career win.

Two wins this season, the latter from the front over C&D (good to soft) in May; also suited by good to firm ground and last month's down-the-field finish here can be excused (stumbled leaving stalls) but others in this line-up look better handicapped; finished last of 13 in first-time visor here yesterday.

J: Tyrese Cameron

In a good vein of form, including at Brighton, until losing his chance at the start last time; however, raced mainly at about 5f and this belated return to 6f presents a question mark; change of headgear.

J: Jack Doughty

Resurgent 8yo who handles most ground and has form figures of 231212 since the end of March; put in a dominant display (good to soft) in May and was just nabbed last time (also C&D, good to firm) in June; up another 1lb but remains well handicapped on old form and he's a big player back from a two-month break.

Form & Verdict
Gained her breakthrough success at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) in April and she's held her form with three creditable efforts since; chased home Pop Dancer over C&D 13 days ago and she could pose a serious threat on these revised terms.

Gained her breakthrough success at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) last month off 4lb lower and has backed that up with two solid third place finishes, most recently on turf at Nottingham (5f, good); consistent sort who is likely to give her running once again.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the 18th attempt when making all in first-time blinkers here (6f, good to firm) in April; respectable efforts in two runs since but he needs to find something extra on this drop back in trip; best form has been on good or good to firm.

Mark eased after a fruitless spell on the AW and made it four wins on the spin on turf when going in off 5lb lower five weeks ago; currently 2-2 round here and it's hard to find any negatives.

Form & Verdict
Made his breakthrough (14th attempt) when swooping late to cause a surprise over 6f here (good; 25-1) ten days ago; this looks tougher back in trip but he's only gone up 2lb and his confidence should be boosted after that success; possibilities.

Sole win in 24 starts came in a 0-55 handicap over C&D (good) in May last year; beaten just under 2l into fourth of nine behind Washington Heir here (5f, good) three weeks ago, but may be better over this trip these days; a player despite his wide draw.

Just 1-23 albeit the win came in a 0-55 handicap here (6f, good) just over a year ago; runner-up in last two starts at Lingfield (6f, AW) and Bath (5.7f, good to firm) and it may be that a bit further and good or faster ground suits him best, but he still holds strong claims in this company.
